A Comparison of Eating Behaviors Between Children with and Without Autism
Abstract
Although clinicians typically assume that feeding problems co-exist with a diagnosis of autism, no previous research has compared the eating behavior of children with autism to typically developing children. This study compared caregiver report of eating problems of children with and without autism on a standardized questionnaire. The questionnaire included items pertaining to food refusal and acceptance patterns as well as food presentation requirements. Caregivers were also asked to complete a food inventory that indicated the number of foods eaten within each food group for both the child and the family. Results indicated children with autism have significantly more feeding problems and eat a significantly narrower range of foods than children without autism.

“While eating atypicalities are most strongly associated with Feeding and Eating Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), they are also common in individuals with ASD, (Martins et al., 2008; Schreck et al., 2004), and depression, where changes in weight and appetite are a diagnostic criterion (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).”

“In fact, one study has shown that if the selective feeding issues of children with autism are not addressed, these children are at higher risk for nutritionally related medical problems, such as rickets ( Clark, Rhoden, & Turner, 1993 ).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
